Lime Country sales graduate Cosmo Peridot scored his maiden victory in a maiden 3YO event over 1400m in Tokyo on Sunday.

Settled back by jockey Daichi Shibata, the southern hemisphere-bred two-year-old son of Jimmy Choux showed an excellent turn of foot against his older opponents, despite racing greenly, to win for trainer Yoshiyasu Takahashi.
